DAY 6: Laredo, and back to the gulf coast

LAMARE BRUNI EDUCATION CENTER, LAREDO, TEXAS

E-bird List: Laredo- Las Palmas Trail & Zacate Creek, Webb County, Texas
"The morning of our 6th day took us to the Rio Grande for one last visit at the Lamare Bruni Education Center.  A female White-collared Seedeater was found there."

Although I was right there looking with everyone else I was not able to focus on her. :-(

Also seen were Pyrrhuloxia, Couch's Kingbird White-tipped Dove and Great Kiskadee.

This trail along the river produced the White-collared Seed Eater.

"Before Reaching the gulf we stopped at a few sites in the Port Aransas area, picking up more ducks and waders."  

There were many Roseate Spoonbills and ducks that I was not able to photograph.
